Capabilities

A capability is the category of development setup you want to add. An integration is the specific implementation Avis can install and configure.

Current built-in capabilities:

Capability ID	Name	Description
state-management	State Management	Client-side application state.
data-fetching	Data Fetching	Client-side server-state and API fetching.
api	API	API framework extensions and tooling.
forms	Forms	Form state and submission helpers.
validation	Validation	Runtime schema validation.
auth	Authentication	Authentication and API access control.
observability	Observability	Logging, tracing, and error visibility.
icons	Icons	Icon libraries and icon systems for application interfaces.

Example:

avis add state-management

Prefer capability-first commands when you know the purpose but not the specific tool:

avis add icons
avis add api
avis add auth
avis add observability

If exactly one compatible integration exists for the detected project and capability, Avis selects it. If multiple compatible integrations exist, Avis recommends one, explains why, and shows alternatives. Exact integration commands still work when you already know the concrete tool:

avis add lucide-react

Recommendation order is framework-specific first, then project-type-specific, then ecosystem-specific. Avis can also mark a capability as native to a framework, such as FastAPI’s built-in OpenAPI documentation, instead of pretending there is a package to install.

Generated capability and integration metadata is available in Generated Registry.
